Seaweed Soluble Seaweed Powder 1-0-4 is listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) for use in organic production.

 

 

Why seaweed?

Long known and used by farmers for its rich value, seaweed feeds plants with a wide range of nutrients, growth bio-stimulants and conditioners. Harvested along the Norwegian coastline—the most perfect seaweed growing environment—this is an organic, non-pollutant renewable resource.

 

 

It stimulates natural development

By increasing the levels of your plants’ chlorophyll production, Seaweed stimulates their natural development and growth. In effect Seaweed functions as a catalyst to let your plants use the sun’s energy more effectively, thereby promoting stronger, healthier growth.

Seaweed also feeds the soil

And soil is the key: feeding the plant without simultaneous concern for the soil is like building a house on sand. Many artificial fertilizers, while offering impressive results in the short term, do so by neglecting the long term health of the soil. Seaweed greatly improves this obvious (but generally overlooked) part of your plant’s ecosystem. It creates an extended root system giving your plants greater access to nutrients and water in the soil and thus to long term health.

Natural resistance

Seaweed stimulates beneficial soil microbe activity which leads to improving your plants’ natural resistance to stresses. It creates a “biological barrier” between your plants and pathogens.

How Seaweed works

Seaweed contains a large complex of chelated minor elements, to help lessen or nullify minor deficiencies in plants. It also contains important biogrowth stimulants, which have a tremendous effect on seed germination, root development, and general growth. Seaweed’s organic sugars make available to the plants all the wonderful properties of seaweed.

As a fertilizer supplement

Most artificial fertilizers are powerful “boosters,” introducing large amounts of N-P-K (nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium). But N-P-K contents are not a yardstick for their effectiveness. Too much rain, for instance, can wash most of it out of the soil, while too little may lead to high concentrations and scorching of the delicate seedlings.

Here, too, Seaweed can be very effective as a fertilizer supplement to help restore the soil conditions.

 

 

 

What is Seaweed used for?

Seaweed is a natural fertilizer that goes right to the heart of the plant, encouraging natural growth processes and boosting health. When sprayed onto plant leaves, or used to drench roots, it produces more roots: the bigger the root system the more nutrients and water the plant can absorb.

Is all seaweed the same?

Absolutely not! There are thousands of varieties of seaweeds and very few have value for plant life. Ascophyllum Nodosum seaweed from Norway has been thoroughly tested and its value proven.

What makes Seaweed work so well?

All plants produce growth stimulants to improve their growth. However, when a plant is under stress (drought, heat, wind, etc.) the production of these growth stimulants greatly decreases. Of course, this in turn creates a weak plant that is even more easily susceptible to insect and disease. Seaweed Seaweed works so effectively because it contains these types of growth stimulants.

Where can I use Seaweed?

It can be used by itself, or with fertilizers:
• on all plants as a natural stimulant
• on seedlings to encourage strong, early growth
• as a supplement to fertilizer to encourage fruit set and better yields
• as a “pick-me-up” for unhealthy plants
• to encourage growth and greening of lawns (turf)
• on all greenhouse and nursery plants (weekly)

What results can I expect?

Research has shown that Seaweed increases root growth by 60%. This gives your plants the foundation for bigger, better quality fruits and vegetables and more prolific blooms. It also makes plants more resistant to stresses.
